Glider/rockers for long-waisted women?

Still on the hunt for a fully upholstered glider. I checked out several Best chairs, at the recommendation of ladies on this board, and I loved the overall quality, motion, and fabric choices.  But the back of most Best upholstered chairs hits below my head, so I can't lean my head back comfortably. I'm only 5'5", but a bit long waisted.  I think the problem would be even worse for my husband.  The exposed wood gliders are taller, but we don't like them, for a variety of reasons.  Any suggestions for a fully upholstered chair with a taller back? TIA.

Re: Glider/rockers for long-waisted women?

  • Ours are Best chairs (rocker/glider/recliner)  with a taller back and my head hits them no problem.  I'm 5'7" with a long torso.  DH is 6'3 and he's never complained either.  I will look up what kind we have.

    Thanks! I'm considering the Best Benji recliner as one of our options, though I really wanted a glider/rocker, not a recliner. 


  • @skihorse  Ours glides, rocks and reclines.  I highly recommend all three!   I have slept in this chair a many times over the years.

  • I ended up buying the Best "Benji" recliner today.  I hope we like it; we have a leather ottoman that we can borrow from another room, if needed (I remember sitting up straighter, not reclined, when nursing DS 1).  Thanks for the suggestions!
